      Hello,
      I have found a problem, I have installed the new pfSense version 2.2 within an ESX host.
      If a manually disable an VMXNET3 adapter through ESXi itself, the connection icon (green or red arrow), doesn't change, it stays green!

      Does anyone has or know an solution for this problem?

        Are you refreshing the dashboard or Status->OpenVPN page?
        Those statuses do not (yet) have any automatic updating.

        As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."

            I have never tried pulling an adapter out of a running machine to see how it would effect pfsense.  Would that qualify as a bug?

              I am using ESXi 5.5 with VMXNET3 adapters.
              Turning adapters on of off worked good with version 2.1.x

              I use this function to identify the correct (ESXi virtual) adapter within pfSense.

              Maybe this also helps:
              When I install pfSense there is an page where you could "auto detected" the NIC's, this is also not working! :o
